Youth BeyondBorders Project
I have acquired the necessary skills and knowledge, and I was able to take initiative in my community. The program provided us with what exceeded my expectations.
Printing Business
WE Inspire Project
We have gained a deeper understanding of our customers through business analysis training. It helped us identify who our target customers are and where we can reach them.
I learned a great deal more about environmental issues and the ways to address them. Most importantly, through the connections and networking provided by the YSEALI program, we have jointly arrived at solutions to climate crisis challenges, which will have profound impacts in our communities.
Chumchon Harapan Project
The Chumchon Harapan curriculum sparked the idea of designing new
teaching methods.
I learned to incorporate community resources into our
teaching plan, and this became
an invaluable asset.
